This was really tough for me to decide. There were 4 players I thought were neck-in-neck. Voted Baertschi (and surprised myself in doing so).
Ward has said Granlund and a few others have passed Baertschi, but I am not sure that is the way the organization views it. However, I can't for a minute argue that he is indeed the 3rd best rated prospect. You can make very good cases for a handful of other players. He had a disappointing season from a few different angles. Hopefully he can rebound.
